In life, we're presented with a lot of questions that don't have concrete answers.

For example, my relationship with my significant other is okay, but it's not great.

Should we break up?

Well, our relationship could get better if we worked on it.

But also, it might never be better, and maybe there's someone else out there.

Or, should I take this job?

It's not my dream job, but maybe I'll end up loving it.

But maybe if I take this job, then my dream job won't come my way or won't be presented to me.

Hmm, I don't know if I should take this job.

Or, oh, there are two schools that I can't decide between I have

to choose one I can't go to both schools at once so what should I do Well this school has a really great nursing program, but this school has a really great veterinarian program.

Oh, what should I do? You get the the idea we get presented constantly with questions and problems

that don't have concrete answers and

There are two ways that we can solve these problems.

We can go with our gut instinct, which is our brain and body

just automatically choosing the answer,

without thinking consciously, without looking at data, without heavily analyzing, it's

just gut instinct.

That's one way that we come to conclusion. We can also come to a conclusion by really

consciously analyzing the problem or question at hand.

Like what's the success rate of going with this solution?

What are the pros and cons of taking each action, etc.
